Why Suriname needs filter aid
Suriname has gold, bauxite and a developing offshore-oil sector.
Bleaching earth is consumed in every batch of refined edible oil, at roughly 0.5–2% of oil weight, so refineries order it on a fixed schedule.

Offshore oil development needs pipe and valves.
In Suriname, upstream oil & gas and refineries buy filter aid from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
